We have had occasion the last
week or ten days to drive over much
of the county, and can say that for a
fact the grain this year IS hardly up
the average. In the southwestern
part of the county wheat is quite
light with few exceptions, while in
the northern part, between the Red
and Wild Rice rivers the grain av-
erages very good, and for the most
part would he good enough were it
not for the unusual growth Of grasses
and weeds in the same, the latter
having outgrown the grain in the
early but very dry growing season.
However, it is our opinion that
Richland county will this year har-.
vest good, fair crop and make its
usual yearly progress.
